Education Should be Inclusive

Given the goal of universal education by 2015, education needs to be inclusive and transparent. The role of the state also needs to be emphasized in providing access to education and quality education for all citizens.

This was stated by representatives of the international teachers’ organization Education International (EI), accompanied by representatives of the Indonesian teachers’ union PGRI. They were commenting on the education for all project post 2015.

Both the central and local governments need to ensure expansion of access to education, and improvement in the quality of education, in all fields – elementary, middle, high and third-level education.
